Getting Started
Getting started
This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the subwoofer, and by reproducing
acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch/7.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true “home theater” experience even within a limited space.
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage
to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has
occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
NOTE ≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.
